Good Evening everyone
I am doing a project on "Data Hiding using skin tone steganography".Do I need to specify front end and back end in my project description.I am not sure they are needed because I will be using Netbeans to build the project.
Thank You

Netbeans cannot build a project; it calls out to some compiler, such as MSVC++, MinGW, or ICC (on Windows), or GCC, LLVM, or ICC (on Posix).

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by frontend or backend.

Depends on the language. Netbeans has javac as part of its distribution to compile java projects.

Yes, it can include the JDK. That doesn't mean netbeans itself builds the project

I will be using java sdk 1.7.Front end is the user interface which is responsible for collecting the user input.back end is the part of an application which is responsible for processing the user input.Examples of front end and back end are java and ms-access.This is what I have picked up after a bit of reading from the internet.I hope I am correct.However I am not exactly sure about front end and back end and this is the first time I am doing a project,so depending on the topic of the project which is "Data Hiding using skin tone steganography" please tell me whether I will be needing a front end and back end?
Thank You

Is netbeans asking for a front end and back end? "Front end" and "back end" can mean any number of different things. E.g. in a compiler the "front end" is the bit that parses the source code, and the "back end" is the bit that generates a binary. In an interpreter the "front end" is the bit that parses the source code, and the "back end" is an execution engine. In most web-oriented contexts, the "front end" is the bit that runs client-side, and the "back end" is what runs on the server, or the "front end" is the bit running on the application server, and the "back end" is a database.

Actually I need to give a presentation on my project.Is there any front end and back end in image processing projects?
Thank You
